So my 3a set of ovtaves started acting really loud and responsive, so I decided it was time to clean the bearings and give them some standard TLC. I got all my supplies and set out a towel and finally unscrewed my yoyos only to find that the shields had fallen out and were just rattling around in the yoyo! This was a first for me, has it ever happened to you?

Not exactly, but I used to have size A bearing shims as size C spacers on my speeder2 and a few other yyjs. They fit rly well.

It’s happened to me but not because of 3a. Just my shields fall off from cheaper/looser bearings.
